Rumsfeld takes aim at Iran, Russia, China


Could someone please arrest this man, while he is globe-trotting?

AP Wire 06/03/2006 Rumsfeld takes aim at Iran, Russia, China:

"SINGAPORE - U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld branded Iran as the world's leading terrorist nation yet hoped Tehran seriously would consider incentives from the West in exchange for suspending suspect nuclear activities.

Rumsfeld, attending an annual security conference, also took aim Saturday at Russia and China for allowing Iran's involvement in a group that he said has stated opposition to terrorism and extremists.

Iraq was on Rumsfeld's mind, too, as he expressed concern the war could alienate Muslims in Southeast Asia. Upcoming stops on his trip include Indonesia and Vietnam.

The U.S. and five other world powers decided last week to offer incentives to Iran if it gives up uranium enrichment. Under that condition, the Bush administration said it would join talks with Iran.

'The information has just been communicated to them, and it seems to me the appropriate thing now to do is to wait and see which path the Iranian government will take,' Rumsfeld said on the sidelines of the security conference."
